A group of 24 Winnipeg co-workers will each walk away with nearly $42,000 after a recent Lotto Max win.

The group won the September 16 draw worth $1,000,022.

“One of the ladies in our group sent me a text really early in the morning, saying we had won on Maxmillions,” said Darlene Johanson, one of the winners. “So, the first thing I did when I woke up was check the ticket on my mobile app. Sure enough, we were winners!”

Johanson purchased the ticket at the Seasons of Tuxedo Shell on Sterling Lyon Parkway.
